Reciprocating the Love of the Bridegroom

On the first three days of Holy Week we celebrate the patronal feast of this blog. Let us watch for Christ calls us to live in the love He has for us, not to live in what makes us happy, but to reciprocate the same love He has shown for us on Calvary. We do not know when He will render accounts for us, so we must ask ourselves, "Have we been a faithful Bride to Him? Have we loved Him with the love with which He loves us?"

It is truly meet to bless thee O Theotokos, ever blessed and most pure and the Mother of Our God. More honorable than the Cherubim and by far more glorious than the Seraphim, without corruption thou didst bear God the Word. True Theotokos we magnify thee!
